lying, fascist mobster silvio berlusconi has proven once again that he is completely unsuitable to run a country, having defended mussolini in an interview.



the man's an absolute disgrace. he brings disrepute to his beautiful, cultured country and makes a mockery of the high ideals, now sadly mired in corruption, of the e.u., of which italy currently has the presidency.



why will the italians not learn from their mistakes and elect someone honest to be their prime minister, someone who's worthy of the trust that his/her people put in the holder of that post?



same reason we brits keep electing absolute bastards and liars, i guess - it's all that the party system offers us. they're offered as candidates for high office because they've been utterly ruthless and greedy in the rise throught the ranks of their party, so they'll be utterly ruthless and greedy when in power; see bliar, anthony charles lynton.
